In the eternal quest for personal improvement, I had a mole removed today while I was at the dermatologist. Of course, it’s an easy decision to rid yourself of these spots when you’re predisposed to skin cancer, with a long and illustrious family history to back it up.
Between you and me, there’s a part of me that regrets ordering its removal. I’d had this “beauty mark” since I was born, or at least for as long as I can remember. I find myself mourning its absence a little bit… In a way, it was a little biological piece of flair.

In many cultures these flaws are considered the most beautiful parts about a woman, but in the US it’s maybe not so much.

Moles run rampant in my family tree – which is amusing because who knew they could climb? They’re so rampant, in fact, that I get them removed, and after a couple of years they just start growing back anyway. My mom says it’s good to have them removed. Well, sure, if you’re in a genetic branch who gets them on their eyelids.

I don’t get moles, I get beauty marks… Hundreds of them. They’ll take over my skin one day.

There’s always a battle between fashion and medicine, huh? (From a fellow moley!)

I know how ya feel. I have a “beauty mark” on my shoulder, which I’ll eventually have removed, but it is a part of me.

You could always pencil it back in.
